I love all your work Karen – but for me, this one is an absolute favourite. Such soft and fine hair – I imagine quite blonde with streaks of a pale honey shade through it – and the gorgeous blue eyes…So much like my own daughter as a young child…Just beautiful!

Thank you so much for stopping by Clive. Drafting film is a polyester paper, so I guess plasticky is a good description. I find it a joy to draw on – so smooth – which makes blending and fine detail a breeze. But any graphite work definitely needs fixative applied or it will smudge very easily.
